26. Hey, how did you get that? And do you know the story behind this particular painting?

27. It looked like Raphael from other depictions

But I didn't think it would be him because he'd done a famous self-portrait that is similar. So I thought it was a self-portrait by another artist done as a kind of homage to Raphael--and Raphael himself was the last possibility i checked.

And, of course, I rushed to post the answer before going back for more info on the painting. What do you know about it?

30. How did you get to van Dyke?

31. Remember the the young Lords, the Stuarts of England?

CTyankee... The attention paid to every detail in the fabric, as well as the very elegant hand shapes, reminded me of the painting of the Stuart brothers who died in the English Civil War. We had it in the challenge a while back. I knew that van Dyck had painted the two brothers Stuart. so had him in mind. Here it is for reference:

Searched on google images for van Dyck self portrait and there it was. So it was a guess. An art challenge educated guess.

32. I actually think he doesn't look like what I would imagine him to look like!

He looks far from the dandies that he painted in the work you referenced...softer, with a lot less bravuro...I actually had to double check when I saw this portrait...what he's wearing is not as fancy either...

33. well...

All that I can tell you is that those two details -- the hands and the very detailed drapes/folds in the fabric, especially in the white silky shirt of the self portrait, had me thinking "this reminds me of the Stuart brothers."

That told me who the artist was, and I was happy to confirm it with a search!
